Overview

A story of unlikely friendship and forbidden love, heart-pounding suspense, and an epic tale set in war-ravaged Greece during World War II. Two women, one the daughter of a German SS Officer and the other a fiery Greek woman, are in a race against time to help Jews and Allies escape the clutches of the Germans. Their clandestine operation hangs by a thread, and discovery means certain death.

After the death of her mother at the hands of the SS Officer, Zoe Lambros's faith was shattered. Zoe is determined to defy the enemy in every way she can--including a festering urge to kill the Commander's daughter, Eva Muller. Eva has a tortured past, and a secret, if revealed, will lead to certain death at the hands of her father.

Although Eva and Zoe ought to be adversaries, fate draws them together to collaborate on a quest to save lives instead of working against each other. They find themselves in an improbable friendship that is able to overcome the hurdles that separate them, and while they are working together to assist Jews for their escape, their improbable friendship develops into love.
